Eastern Railroad Discussion > 13R derailment in Harrisburg

Around noon today 13R derailed in Harrisburg as it rounded the curve from the Pittsburgh line to the Lurgan line. Cars are laying on their sides on the inside of the curve. The Amtrak connection was blocked so that no. 42 arrived almost 3 hours late and no. 43 left almost an hour late. They had to pull the rear end of the train onto the Buffalo line to get it out of the way. It had 2 DODX cabooses on the rear end.

Out of curiosity, is the 20W with the NS 8114 trailing still in Harrisburg?
From what I know of the area, this incident probably boogered up traffic to and from the Harrisburg line.
Thanks,

As of about 7:20 p.m., 20W is ready to depart Rutherford and will follow 14G which is approaching Rutherford.
